cover. Should one of these languages happen to be your mother tongue, you are
most welcome to send us articles in that language, together with a synopsis in
English of approximately 25% of the length of the article. These articles need
not necessarily be technical - they could have a history-and-heritage flavour
(e.g. how things were when you were a child and how civil engineering has
changed that), or why you chose civil engineering as a career, or anything
interesting and relevant to the civil engineering environment that you would
like to share with readers in your mother tongue.</span><b> </b><b><span
